Jack Dee hilariously turned the tables on teenagers in a great Saturday night
show at the 2012 Telegraph Hay Festival.

Even when he's picking up on inconsequential domestic situations, Jack Dee can bring something original to the party with his sly, mordant observations.

Describing those leaflets which drop through most letter-boxes advertising a handyman for whom 'no job is too small', Dee joked: "Really, I thought. How about I ring them up and say 'my pencil needs sharpening' or 'can you take off the fluff from the bottom of the hoover' or 'I am the middle of a s--- and the toilet roll needs changing'.

Dee spoke about family life before asking if there were any teenagers in the house at the 2012 Telegraph Hay Festival. The comedian, a father of four, sent up life as a parent hilariously. He said there was one benefit of kids never moving away from the computer screens as they played at their video games with the punchline "he's online again playing with his friends, well at least we don't have to have the little bastards in the house."

Dee joked about teenagers presumably believing that there is a tiny door at the back of the fridge which is used to magically keep replenishing the food, before he riffed about Jesus as a teenager, picturing him yelling: "You're not my real Dad!"

Londoner Dee also had a bit of fun at the expense of the Hay locals in a sequence about last summer's riots. Dee said: "I'm not going to talk about those riots here in Hay-on-Wye, seeing as you got the worst of it. I'm sure you will rebuild and make it nice again. What a mess. Many of you are still living in tents."
